WordPress 2.8 Error – Call to undefined method WordPress_Module::_weak_escape()
June 11th, 2009 | Posted by in Wordpress
I’ve successfully upgraded my WordPress blog, and the WordPress blogs of a few of my friends, but one of them gets the following error:
Call to undefined method WordPress_Module::_weak_escape()
Has anybody encountered this? I found one solution that suggested disabling redirection, but how do you do this when you can’t even access your blog?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

The weak_escape() errors its caused by Redirection plugin. Deactivate it or Download the latest versión and everythin will run ok again.
I encountered the same problem. You can delete the redirect plugin folder on your server or rename it. I renamed the folder old redirection and that did the trick. Hope this helps.
I updated one of my blog 2.7 to 2.8 and had same problem. My solution; I replaced wp-db.php file with 2.7 version on server. Then everything work fine. Update redirection plugin and put original file in “/wp-includes”…
Yep! I had the same problem too.
However, I am reading on the redirection website that the plugin has been upgraded and you should not encounter this problem.
I was worried I would not be able to use the redirection plugin for my site anymore. But its all good now!!
The Redirection Plug in was the issue. After upgrading, I was unable to traverse my website including the admin page.
I had to FTP to my website, rename the redirection plug-in to redirection.old and walaa fixed.
I will research the new version of the plug in.
Thanks for the help on this one. I changed the redirection plugin name. Then I was able to login, upgrade the plugin and all is well.
